This book takes a multi-disciplinary critique of economics' first
principles: the fundamental and inter-related structuring
assumptions that underlie the neo-classical paradigm. These
assumptions, that economic agents are rational, self-interested
individuals, continue to influence the teaching of economics,
research agendas and policy analyses. The book argues that both the
theoretical understanding of the economy and the actual working of
real-world market economies diminish the scope for thinking about
the relation between ethics, economics, and the economy. It
highlights how market economies may "crowd out" ethical behavior
and our evaluation of them elides ethical reflection. The book
calls for a more pluralistic and richer approach to economic
theory, one that allows ample room for ethical considerations. It
provides insight into understanding human motivations and human
flourishing and how a good economy requires reflection on the
ethical relations between the self, world, and time.
